Casa bombshell Emma, who arrived on Day 27 in a shock twist, is now plotting to rekindle her romance with Harry — despite slating him in brutal Instagram DMs only a month earlier and knowing he's coupled up with Helena.

The news has come as a big surprise to insiders, who have revealed she was dating someone else just six weeks ago.
And her ex believes she's gone in there for one reason and one reason only - to get Harry back.
The source told us: 'Her ex and everyone else don't think there's any other reason to go on that show apart from to get back with him.
"That's been the plan the whole time, everyone is 99% sure it was planned.'
The lad dating Emma called it quits after the Love Island line-up was revealed and she told him about Harry.
In a string of cutting messages exchanged on Instagram, which have been seen by The Sun, Emma ripped into Harry's looks, calling him 'butters' and saying he had 'got so skinny since I haven't been feeding him.'
'She literally said he 'wouldn't stand a chance now' and told me she couldn't be bothered with the producers messaging her about going on the show,' the insider added.
'It was all very strange because she was asking for a serious relationship with this guy but at the same time she was talking about Harry and Love Island all the time.'
They tell us she was initially very against the show and ruled out entering but in a dramatic u-turn that left fans shocked, she made a surprise entrance and then set her sights on him once again.
'She said she wanted to be the bigger person,' they told us, 'but now she's trying to win the whole thing with the same guy she was mocking.'
Spot the blink and you'll miss it moment that proves Love Islanders Emma and Harry are still in love - did you see it?
In Thursday night's episode, she was seen getting close to Harry and even suggesting a romantic reunion, telling him: 'I think people would love to see…' — leaving fans shocked as she clearly hinted the public wanted them back together.
Later in the conversation, she added: 'We're stuck for life', while Harry, clearly torn between Emma and Helena, confessed: 'I can't compare anyone to you,' before adding, 'Of course I love you, of course I always have love for you.'
He then asked her: 'Did you Love Island to get back with me?'
Emma, now looking sheepish, replied: 'I didn't plan for any of this,' and teased: 'See you back at home in bed.'
The pair then reminisced about the house they once shared — which still hasn't sold — and Emma subtly floated the idea of coupling back up to go all the way to the final and win the £50k.
Emma and Harry were together for three years, but split after she claimed he cheated and brought other girls back to their home — something she revealed in explosive scenes during her return.
The source add: 'They both still own the house together, which is something she openly spoke about and it all just seems rather convenient that they have both ended up on the show together and so close to the end.
"No one would be surprised if they were both in on it.'
And her ex believes Emma, who is unable to give her version of events while in the villa, has gone in there for one reason and one reason only - to get Harry back.

Dumped Love Island star Lauren Wood shows off her abs in black gym gear as she rubs shoulders with All Stars winner Gabby Allen at fitness event
Lauren Wood is already hanging out with Love Island alumni as she joined All Stars winner Gabby Allen to host a fitness event at Frame in Shoreditch on Saturday. The fitness influencer, 26, was brutally dumped from the island when new bombshell Angel arrived last week, with her partner Harrison Solomon, 22, voluntarily exiting the villa to be with her. And after just days out of the villa, she is already rubbing shoulders with Love Island legends as she stepped out alongside Gabby, 33. Lauren showed off her incredible figure in a black bralet and matching leggings, which she paired with Nike trainers, a cream tote bag and a simple bracelet. Alongside her, Gabby stepped out in figure-hugging blue gym shorts and a matching top, which she teamed with chunky beige trainers. Gabby no doubt had some words of wisdom about leaving the villa for Lauren, having featured on both the third series of Love Island and the All Stars edition. Lauren had a dramatic time on Love Island as she was in a love triangle with Harrison and Toni Laites, 24, which saw the footballer go back and forth between the two women, causing weeks of upset and conflict. Harrison's actions were condemned by viewers and, to his dismay, Women's Aid also criticised his actions by releasing a damning statement claiming his behaviour 'reinforces a culture that excuses and trivialises violence against women and girls.' However, after leaving the villa, Lauren clapped back at Women's Aid and declared the charity's statement was 'blown way out of proportion' as she insisted Harrison 'just made a mistake'. The dog walker told Cosmopolitan: 'Erm obviously, I think it was blown out of proportion like he's made a mistake but everyone makes mistakes. 'Like, he's gone about it the wrong way, he knows he has done wrong. I think it was just the timing of everything. 'It was literally just the timing of it but like he said, he isn't a bad person and everyone in the villa knows that.' MailOnline contacted Women's Aid for comment at the time. The Derby-born Islander had a relationship with US waitress Toni before embarking on a new romance with Lauren after meeting her in Casa Amor, with the couple becoming the first to have sex on the ITV2 show this series. But Harrison sparked outrage by convincing Toni, who was unaware he had slept with Lauren, to rekindle, leaving the distraught influencer in floods of tears. Shortly after their bedroom antics were exposed, Lauren was dumped from the villa and followed out the door by Harrison, who was quickly informed of Women's Aid's criticism, which left him dumbstruck. Fans on X shared their concern for Lauren's disagreement with Women's Aid and wrote: 'She forgive Harrison everything. Let's c once they have split up', 'setting women back omg', 'Standing up for someone is one thing, but brushing off a real issue as 'just a mistake' can do more harm than good', 'To think they were trying to support her as well. They literally made that statement to support her', 'Mind you Women's Aid were backing HER and were fuming about how she was treated and she's saying this? This girl has set women back 1000 years'. Harrison has also revealed what he really thought on the Women's Aid statement in an exclusive interview with MailOnline. He insisted the charity was wrong to call him out and claims the nature of the statement upset his family. He said: 'I have seen the backlash and it's hard to digest. I would disagree with a lot of it in terms of my respect for women, I do respect women. 'The worst has been from Women's Aid. I know myself and the girls on the show too, Toni said she knows I'm not a bad person, just went about situations in the wrong way, but the Women's Aid statement wasn't nice... it's not nice coming out of the villa to my mum upset by that so I would say that's been the hardest.' He added: 'To the women I have hurt, I am obviously sorry. I got it wrong and the back and forth between the two connections caused more harm than I ever intended. 'It wasn't ever an ego thing. I am not proud of how I handled things and I'm not going to make excuses. 'I just want to own it. If people can give me the space to grow from it, I will do everything I can to be better and that's the only thing I can do. 'There is no handbook for how to be on a show like Love Island. It's instincts and intentions. I got some of it right, but I know I got a lot of it wrong, and I know that now.' Harrison said the statement issued by Women's Aid, which commented on women being 'lied to, slut-shamed, and laughed at behind their backs' was particularly detrimental given the close relationship he shares with his mother and younger sister. However, the pair have overcome their turbulent time in the villa and have pursued things on the outside since Harrison's voluntary exit Harrison says leaving Love Island was a decision he made himself, telling MailOnline: 'I have seen a lot of this online and I feel like I am my own man and I'm going to make my own choices. 'I wouldn't have left one of the biggest TV shows in the UK if I didn't see a future with Lauren. It was a very emotional conversation because she was just dumped, she was acting on emotion, she just wanted to get across to me how much she was into me and wanted to give me a second chance. 'I understand where people are coming from, but Lauren found a proper connection, of course she wanted me to leave with her. Lauren didn't make the decision for me though I followed my heart.' American contestant Toni believed she had found The One in Harrison, given he was Miami based and in her age range, but after realising she deserved better than to be an option, she told him: 'You treated me like s*** repeatedly and I tried to walk away multiple times. Please don't treat Lauren this way.'

Shaughna Phillips reveals she was doing pregnancy tests 'seven times a day' as she candidly opens up about expecting baby number two
Shaughna Phillips revealed she got to a point where she was doing pregnancy tests 'seven times a day' while opening up about her very unexpected second pregnancy. The Love Island alum, 31, revealed in June she is expecting her second child with Billy Webb, who is also father to her two-year-old daughter, Lucia. Admitting she wasn't expecting to get pregnant so quickly on her 'first attempt', the TV star explained she 'kept Clear Blue in business' due to the very high amount of tests she ordered. 'Then it got to the point where, because I was testing so much, I would do one and not even think twice about it because I was doing them about seven times a day,' she told The Sun. Yet Shaughna was shocked to see the positive line when she found out she was pregnant and felt 'over the moon', calling herself 'very lucky'. She admitted she could barely believe it and decided to conduct yet another test to make sure the news was definite. 'But I just really didn't expect it'd be the first try. So, it was a shock. It was still a shock, even though I was trying,' 'The next day I did another and I thought right, I'm going to film this, and it came up with a stronger line, and even then I was still in shock.' The TV personality recently revealed how she planned her pregnancy with Billy, 29, after her ovulation period had coincided with him being home from prison. Currently held in a Category D prison, Billy has been allowed home visits for a few days each month. Speaking to the Mirror last month, Shaughna said: 'It was the first time that my ovulation window coincided with Billy being home. 'I was like, "You know what? Why not? Let's just see" - and literally, the next day, I said to Billy, "I think I'm pregnant".' Shaughna and Billy have been enjoying family days out over the past seven months while he has been on day release from an open prison. An insider said: 'Billy has been in a Category D prison, which means he has been able to spend a fair bit of time with Shaughna. Just earlier this month, Shaughna said she's hoping her jailed boyfriend will be released from prison before the arrival of her second child. Following the birth of Lucia in April 2023, Billy was sentenced to nine years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000. And Shaughna has revealed he may be granted early release, possibly making it home in time for the birth. She told New! magazine: 'I know the date he's due to be home but, but I'm not saying anything it just because anything could happen. But hopefully [he] will be fully home before my baby is due.' The reality star said she's looking forward to having 'someone there' this time around, as Billy missed out on the early moments with Lucia - from cuddles to sleepless nights. 'He definitely wanted another one,' Shaughna shared. 'He didn't get that newborn experience with Lucia, and I think that's what he really wanted.'

Major music festival with A-list headliners cancelled at the last minute
Connecticut's popular Soundside Music Festival has abruptly been cancelled, two months before its headliners were set to take the stage. The two-day event – which was set to return to Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut on September 27 and 28 – has been axed due to 'circumstances beyond our control', organisers have said. The headliners slated for the event were The Killers, Weezer, Hozier and Vampire Weekend, with Japanese Breakfast, Remi Wolf, Alex Warren and The Last Dinner Party also included in the line-up. But now a brief message on the festival's website has announced: 'Due to circumstances beyond our control, Soundside Music Festival has been cancelled. 'Tickets will be refunded to the original method of payment in as little as 30 days depending on your bank's processing time.' The festival organisers have not provided any further specifics on why the event will not be going ahead. The official Soundside Music Festival social media accounts were taken down following the announcement, including its Instagram and Facebook pages, which had over 52,000 combined followers. General admission for a single-day ticket to the festival started at $170 (£127), according to the Soundside Music Festival's now-deleted ticket page. This comes after the Foo Fighters cancelled their performance at the festival last year, following on from lead singer Dave Grohl's admission that he cheated on his wife and fathered a child with another person. The gig was slated for September 29, 2024, but was pulled without an explanation in an Instagram post which had its comments promptly switched off. The announcement came after the rock band had been shaken by controversy just weeks earlier, as Dave, 56, shared a statement to social media in which he admitted he was the father to a new baby daughter born outside his marriage. More Trending To the shock of fans, the frontman – who has been married to Jordyn Blum since 2003 – shared on Instagram: 'I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. 'I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. 'We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.' Got a story?
